The new LashLovr experience combines intelligent lash matching with real-time visualization using Perfect Corp.'s beauty APIs.

Perfect Corp., a global leader in AI and augmented reality (AR) beauty and fashion technology, today announced its partnership with True Beauty Lashes to power LashLovr, a personalized lash matching and virtual try-on experience designed to transform how consumers discover and shop for false lashes.
LashLovr leverages Perfect Corp.’s Virtual Try-On and Face Analyzer APIs to allow shoppers to visually preview their recommended lashes in real time, directly on their face, before purchasing. The experience combines advanced personalization with seamless visualization, addressing one of the biggest barriers in the lash category: finding lashes that truly fit.
True Beauty Lashes developed LashLovr to solve a long-standing industry challenge. While lashes are often marketed as one-size-fits-all, fit remains the #1 obstacle to adoption: an estimated 242 million women globally say they don’t currently wear lashes, but would if they knew which ones were right for their eyes.
Traditional lash shopping experiences rarely account for the complexity of eye shape, facial proportions, or personal style preferences, leading to frustration and poor results. To address this gap, True Beauty Lashes developed LashLovr, a proprietary lash-matching experience designed to simplify and personalize the process of finding lashes that truly work for their eyes.
At launch, LashLovr™ will offer:
Multi-attribute eye shape personalization
Daytime and nighttime lash recommendations
Access to a 50+ SKU catalog designed for real fit variation
Virtual try-on powered by Perfect Corp.
A limited-time complimentary Virtual Application Support Call after purchase
To further enhance confidence at the point of purchase, LashLovr integrates Perfect Corp.’s technology via an API, enabling users to gain insight into their eye shape to receive personalized recommendations. Users can then preview their recommended lashes directly on the results page and try on their lashes via Perfect Corp.’s virtual try-on technology. This visual layer bridges the gap between recommendation and reality, creating a higher-conversion, lower-friction shopping experience.
The highly sophisticated recommendation logic behind LashLovr is informed by research-backed principles of facial harmonization and insights gathered from hundreds of professional makeup artists, including industry leaders Dominique “Chevon” Doyle, Jeremy Kregar, and Denise Serah.
“LashLovr represents a shift in how beauty should be experienced. Instead of forcing customers to adapt to products, we built a system that adapts to them. We empower shoppers to understand their eye shape and how different lash styles interact with their features, then bring that knowledge to life through visualization powered by Perfect Corp.’s virtual try-on technology. Together, this creates a seamless way to shop for lashes and sets a new standard of personalization within the beauty industry.”— Lisa Stroud, Founder of True Beauty Lashes
